What Moda does that none of them do

Every app on this list starts a timer when you drive and stops it when you're done. That part is the same. What's different is everything around it.

Moda is the only app where both parents see the same progress from their own phones. The only one where a drive crossing sunset splits the time correctly between day and night. The only one with a route replay colored by speed. The only one with CarPlay, a Live Activity, and weather detection from Apple WeatherKit. And the only one where GPS coordinates never reach a server.

If all you need is a timer and a PDF, several of these will work. If your family needs the hours to be right and both parents to be in the loop, that's what Moda was built for.
